Eating “traditionally” (or “eating clean”) is all the rage these days: from going organic, paleo, vegetarian, or gluten-free, to ditching non-stick-coated cookware and shopping at farmer’s markets. But what does eating traditionally really mean? Weston A Price was a dentist in the 1930s and he set out around the world to study various cultures and see what they had been eating for hundreds of years. He noticed that when a person of any culture ate “traditionally” prepared foods, they were noticeably and measurably healthier than those who had moved on to a more “westernized,” “industrial,” or processed diet of white flour, sugar, and shelf-stable foods. The cultures of the world provide a huge variety of “traditional” ways of eating, from paleo-type diets to grain- and vegetable- heavy fare, from lots of dairy to none, and everything in between. So there is no reason to feel “boxed-in” to one particular diet or culture’s idea of healthy food. As long as it’s a traditional diet, it can be a healthy choice.
